The 2025 WPIAL softball championship games are set for Thursday and Friday at Nittany Lion Softball Park at Penn State University.

Only one defending champion is back in an effort to repeat, and is part of the only title game rematch from 2024.

Undefeated Neshannock looks to not only repeat, but claim a third state championship in the last four years, all with perfect records.

Standing in its way in the 2A finals is the same team the Lancers beat last year for state gold, District 4 champion South Williamsport.

The other two WPIAL teams heading to Happy Valley are Penn-Trafford in 5A and Union in Class A.

Here are the sites and times for the PIAA title games, plus all the final scores from the opening round, quarterfinals and semifinals of the state softball playoffs.
